That would annoy the hell out of me given the prevalence of pages using layout tables. I retract my original preferred solution and say screw Bobby and go for not including a summary. The point here is not to satisfy someone's idea of what constitutes an accessible page (e.g achieving Bobby compliance) and actually create a page that works for people. I nearly wrote a ranting response yesterday along the lines of a guideline being just that and not getting caught up in the rigidity of satisfying validation tools but thought better of it....maybe I should have :-) That's my two pennies for today (and I fully expect to get semi-flamed for this) -J.
